Re: moving from imap to pop3; splitting w/links; tagging

[subopt]

[Please ignore my previous response.]

Thanks for the response. Took me a while to sort out the fetchmail
part,
because my client's system doesn't actually have fetchmail installed!
I
was able to do a local (~) install of getmail, and tested it out by
fetching and deleting all my email from the pop3 server. Then i set my
mail-sources as you see below.

I was trying to get gnus to use that same inbox file for all incoming
email, and get nnml to call my local install of getmail to fetch all
new
email. This is because we're not allowed to have cron jobs.

I've obviously gotten something wrong, because when nnml tries to
fetch
my mail, i get this in the mini-buffer:

    Password for <my login> at nil:

Also, when i try to do gnus-group-edit-group-parameters for
nnml:mail.misc, instead of giving me a nice customization buffer with
fields, buttons, etc, it gives me a '*Gnus edit form*' buffer that
says
to type C-c C-c after i'm done.

I'm obviously way off track, and don't really understand the
underlying
mechanics here. What do i have wrong now?
